Even with a good draw, there can be trouble. The steer starts from a tight chute between two horse pens, one for the bulldogger and the other for the "hazer," the rider who keeps the running steer close to the wrestler. The chute gate rises and the steer churns into the arena; seconds later, a rope attached to its horns trips a string barrier in front of the bulldogger, and the two horsemen race out in pursuit...
...late Sir H. Rider Haggard, in his book, Mr. Meeson's Will, published about 1888, tells of a dying testator, shipwrecked on a South Pacific isle, who was obliged to have his last will and testament tattooed on the back of the neck and shoulders of a young lady companion. When she was rescued and returned to England, the will was probated but could not be filed...
...casting for James Bond and Honeychile Rider, his principal mate, was almost as demanding as that for PT-109, and JFK will be lucky if Cliff Robertson fills him out the way Sean Connery does James Bond.

Hard-pressed to find youngsters who are light enough (maximum: about 114 Ibs.) or hungry enough to perform the mean chores (walking "hots,"' mucking out stalls) expected of budding jockeys, U.S. horsemen more and more are importing riders from south of the border.

Mexico-bred Milo Valenzuela, 28, is the regular rider for Mrs. Richard du Font's Kelso, three-time Horse of the Year...
...work. The rest is shifting sand." Each artist has his own vision, and part of it is left with those who will stop to share it. But in the best of the shows of May 1963, there is something in common: the "inner necessity" of which the Blue Rider movement spoke, combined with a sense of interdependence. From ancient Greece to Rodin to Lipchitz is a distant course but logical. From the lushness of Delacroix to the colored orchestrations of the Fauves is hardly a giant leap; and the abstract expressionists have claimed Turner as a father. In this...
